  • Francis Andrew Brewin, “He Who Would Valiant Be”: the Makings of a Canadian Anglican Christian Socialist
    Francis Andrew Brewin, “He Who Would Valiant Be”: The Makings of a Canadian Anglican Christian Socialist JOHN BREWIN1 Francis Andrew Brewin (1907-1983) was a formative figure in the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and later in the New Democratic Party. He helped to shape a party that shaped Canada. FAB, as I shall refer to him, was a lifelong “practising” Anglican. He represented a significant Anglican contribution to the Canadian polity. His religious sensibilities led to his decision to join the CCF in 1935 and determined the nature of his participation. This paper focuses on FAB’s decision to join the CCF, and examines the cultures that interacted to produce that decision. It will be argued that his religion and his politics were completely integrated. In his context it made sense for FAB to become a democratic socialist of the Canadian variety. The paper’s methodology is influenced by the approach of Clifford Geertz, as described by Aletta Biersack.2 The decision by FAB to join and to become active in the CCF is best understood as a cultural event, the convergence of cultures that gave FAB his world-view and informed his actions. I will, therefore, look at each of the main sources of FAB’s cultural perspective. In revisiting the way in which one Christian of a particular tradition responded to the problems of his day, one might glimpse how we might respond to the almost overwhelming social, economic and environmental challenges of our own day. Historical Papers 2000: Canadian Society of Church History 74 The Makings of a Canadian Anglican Christian Socialist Family FAB’s family background was very English and very Canadian.

Marie, Ontario May 4, 2017 Bishop’s Charge to the 48th Synod of the Diocese of Algoma May 4th- 6th 2017 God our Father, Lord of all the world, through your Son you have called us into the fellowship of your universal Church; Hear our prayer for your faithful people that in their vocation and ministry each one may be an instrument of your love. Give to your servant Anne, our Bishop, the needful gifts of your grace. May she rightly serve you and share the transforming Gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in and around Algoma and beyond.

  • The Anglican Consultative Counci~ Badagry 1984
    The Anglican Consultative Counci~ Badagry 1984 COLIN CRASTON The Anglican Consultative Council (ACC), conceived at the 1968 Lambeth Conference and brought to birth in 1971 at Limuru, Kenya, had its sixth meeting at Badagry, Nigeria in July 1984. As the child moves through puberty to maturity how is its health? And what are its prospects? Within the family those are questions worth asking. For one thing. the child's maintenance and nurture costs the family a tidy sum, despite most stringent budgeting-how it would now be properly provided for without kind uncles in North America it is impossible to say! But more important the child's progress reflects the state of health, development and sense of direction of the whole family. As an eye-catching event the Lambeth Conference far outstrips a meeting of the ACC. It can provide the platform for Anglican pronouncements as no other body can. though hitherto the voices have been exclusively episcopal-in 1988, it is good to note, the ACC will join the bishops. The ACC, however, because it meets every two or three years, and comprises clergy and laity as well as bishops, and has a continuous life served by its secretariat and supervised by its Standing Committee, is a clearer reflection of the quickly developing life of the Anglican Communion and its individual member Churches. Answers to the questions raised in the first paragraph above may be gleaned from a discerning study of Bonds of Affection, the Proceedings of ACC-6. 1 This article offers some pointers to those answers in a personal assessment of the more significant developments at the meeting and their consequences for Anglicanism.

  • Consecration of the Bishop of Kootenay May 16, 2019
    Consecration of the Bishop of Kootenay May 16, 2019 “This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it!” It is indeed a day of rejoicing for the Church local and the Church Catholic. The Church local is celebrating the consecration and seating of Lynne McNaughton as the 10th Bishop of Kootenay. The Church Catholic is remembering the witness of St. Matthias, the Apostle. Lynne stands in a long line of those whose episcopal ministry has been a great blessing to The Diocese of Kootenay and the wider Church, not the least of whom are John Privett and David Crawley, whose presence at this episcopal ordination is a delight to us all! Lynne, I am absolutely honoured and humbled by your invitation to preach at this liturgy. I have known you for many years, and I have enormous respect for you and the manner in which you have carried out your ministry as a deacon, parish priest, archdeacon, teacher, mentor, spiritual companion and guide, and member of the councils of the Church – diocesan, provincial and national. With the entire Church, I am thankful for all the work you have done in your capacity as the Deputy Prolocutor of the General Synod enabling its Council of General Synod affectionately known as “COGS”, to fulfill its role and responsibilities. And to do so, with a currency of grace one toward another, with a mind and heart for the Church and its call to be in and for the world living the gospel we proclaim. You have been a great colleague to me, our Prolocutor Cynthia Haines-Turner, our General Secretary Michael Thompson, our Chancellor David Jones and all the other Officers of the General Synod, and to the members of the Planning and Agenda Team for COGS.

  • Christ Church, Selkirk 1887
    ._ CHRIST CHURCH, SELKIRK F 5649 1887 -- 1987 ,S45 Compiled By: GEO Jane George 'd? Doreen Oliver Dedicated to The Parishioners of Christ Church Past, Present and Future for an that has been, Thanks! To all that shall be, Yes! Dag Hammerskjold (1953) /. CHRIST CHURCH SELKIRK, MANITOBA MARCH 1987 Introduction Jane Geor!\e Doreen Oliver It has been said that "the roots of the present are deep in the past". Nowhere is this more evident than in the story of this parish. The beginning of the story of Christ Church can not be traced to any particular time. The parish of Christ Church, Selkirk came into being because the Church of England was well-established in Red River prior to 1867. It exists because the church was an important factor in the lives of those who gathered in the little log building on Lot 63. But it also owes its existence to those who have carried on the work of the church in Selkirk over the last century . We could not celebrate this anniversary without celebrating the lives and gifts of all who have made Christ Church their spiritual home. Just as it has no beginning, our story has no end and it will continue to unfold. This is simply an outline of our history and it is our hope that others will continue to gather the parts which will fill it out. We are grateful to the people at the Diocesan Archives, the Public Archives of Manitoba. The Selkirk Enterprise and Daerwood Press. all of whom have been helpful.

Avery Post, president of the [US] United Church of Christ, called the "size and breadth" of the US delegation (about a dozen) "a testimony to the seriousness" of US church conern. A statement on behalf of the US participants pledged "our prayers, our material help, and our moral influence". They promised to "fight side by side with you [South Africans] until victory is achieved". They said that even though "the reactionary forces of injustice and racism are still strong in our country", they will "continue to put forth greater effort to persuade our government to use its influence to help change the cruel and oppressive system of the South African government". John Habgood, archbishop of York in the [Anglican] Church of England, called for a ban on all new investment in South Africa, and selective sanctions as a way to bring the South African government to "negotiate a radically different constitution". However, he declined a blanket endorsement of all sanctions because they might be "socially disruptive, throwing up a different kind of leadership. This needs reflection." Church leaders from Sweden, France, FRG (West Germany), Denmark, Canada, and Norway reiterated similar support for the dismantling of apartheid, differing only in the degree of support for sanctions.
